Lay the chains out in front of or behind the tires. Pull over them or back over them. Wrap the chains around the tire and hook them. It's also, a good idea to fasten a couple of rubber snubbers/bunjees criss crossing them across the hub. The chains will chew up your tire if you travel on a road with less than 3 inches of snow. But, California requires you to use chains with less than an inch. Depends on the state.
To make it even easier, first drape the chains over your tires so there is an even amount of chain hanging from both the front and back of the tire. Next drive forward over the chains until the tails from the front stick out the back and can reach the other end of the chains.
It is not recommended for front-wheel drive cars to use chains as they can damage the vehicle's drive train. You should only put chains on the "stationary" rear wheels, never on "turning" wheels. This is not feasible on front-wheel drive cars as the rear wheels do not supply any power.
